Lakitira Beach Resort, Kos
Basking on the southern coast of Kos in Greece, Mark Warner's 4 star Lakitira Beach Resort extends over four acres of lush flower filled gardens, flanked on two sides by golden sandy beaches and the sparkling azure blue Aegean Sea.
It is perfect for a family holiday with the excellent Mark Warner childcare offered for children from 4 months until teens with age relevant kid's club programmes offering a great variety of indoor and outdoor activities for all ages. Dedicated children’s areas include a watersports beach with junior equipment, a play area and a family pool. And while you relax on the beach or treat yourself to a well-deserved massage, you can be sure they’re in the expert care of Mark Warner British childcare staff.
There is an award-winning tennis centre and fantastic watersports facilities, combined with a laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere mean you can feel absolutely free to be as energetic or lazy as you like.
Down on the waterfront, you can try your hand at sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, stand up paddling and a wealth of other water based activities, all supervised by the Mark Warner team of enthusiastic instructors. Light morning wind is ideal for beginners, and conditions build steadily into the afternoon reaching force 3-5 for the more advanced sailor.
Adults are specially catered for too - chill in the adult only pool or relax on your own private section of the beach away from the hustle and bustle of the main activities - perfect if you are taking some time out from your own children!
